Determining Views

[Glenn]

Good morning,

I would like to find out how you determine which view , in forms, comes up when you open a database. Example, design view, form view or datasheet view. I would like it to open up to the datasheet view.

Thank you

Set the "DefaultView" Property of the Form to "Datasheet View".

You can do this in the DesignView of the Form. The "DefaultView" Property
is in the "Format" tab of the Properties window for the Form.

You can set this setting in the "format" tab. The option is set in "default
view"

Using continues forms is great way to display grids in ms-access. I also
eliminates the need for you to use a grid control.

Here is some screen shots of access forms used as a grid control:
